Custom Seat Covers Vs. Universal Seat Covers

Many make mistakes in thinking that since ready-to-wear business suits that are available in ‘Big’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Small’ sizes fit most people quite well, Universal automobile seat covers that are also available in many sizes would fit too.

Those who think like this are wrong about the structural pattern of hominoids and their creature comfort requirements as compared to that of an automobile. To start with, while minor shortfalls in a dress can be accommodated by a person wearing it with slight physical inflection at the time of wearing, an automobile, however cute and smart looking be its exteriors, is never able to do any such thing. Although most new generation cars or SUVs look somewhat similar, closer examination will sure reveal that a Ford Taurus differs from an Acura Integra although both vehicles have more or less similar dimensions.

Universal covers are mass produced in a fixed size and shape (mostly three- big, medium, and small) that are supposed to protect a wide range of vehicles, irrespective of the brand, marque or style they are made for. The result obviously is a compromising consumer contentment where the cover either fall short than the seat or is simply too big. But the consequences in both cases are terminal. If the cover is shorter in size, it would not be able to protect the seat and the upholstery from the threats that it is subjected to. A part of it remaining exposed is not a good idea. On the other hand if it is too loose then it can come off and then too, the protection is not effective.

Custom covers instead are finished to provide fullest protection to the seat since these are expressly made for each marque of vehicle according to its shape, style and dimension. It is made through computer generated designs after all relevant data is fed to the computer. So, they sure shield the vehicle the most complete, as compared to the half-hearted attempts of protection offered by the Universal covers.

The cost of custom covers is a bit higher than universal all-size-fit covers since they are not only better crafted but are also made from very high quality long-lasting materials, some of them carrying lifetime guarantee.

When we come to the custom seat cover theme, the same aura of high grade material and manufacturing technique is evident in their production. Made using the latest technologies and the most modern equipment, these seat covers are unique in look, fit and durability. In fact, they are so precisely manufactured that the specially made “cut-outs” in these custom seat covers match perfectly with the front seat buttons and levers that control the vehicle’s front seat.

Also, custom seat covers come with many other accessories that include console covers, covers for the headrests, armrests, map pocket, ‘cut-outs’ for front seat adjustment buttons and levers as well as integrated seat belt projections. The best part of the custom seat covers is their ability to instantly enhance the interior décor of a vehicle irrespective of the age and condition of the automobile.
